The office of former President George W. Bush has joined popular social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.

Washington (CNN) – He was succeeded in the White House by the most web savvy administration in U.S. history, but that has not stopped former President George W. Bush from joining Facebook.

The office of the 43rd President recently established an official presence on the popular social networking site, CNN has confirmed.

"Our office hears from citizens all the time: 'How's President Bush? What's he up to? Please tell him thank you for his service,'" Bush spokesman David Sherzer told CNN in an email. "President Bush is grateful for all of these kind messages. A Facebook fan page is the ideal forum on which to keep people up to date on what the former president is doing."

Oh great. who is going to type his responses into FB. An AI program could most likely do a better job.

OMG!! First that imbecile from AK and now this man.
ISO really good hackers to take down, now two, facebook accounts before the world ends! Add twitter to the mix.
Just when you thought these two "social" networks couldn't get any worse. Ask the woman who's facebook friend stole electronics while she was out because she told all her "friends" she was going out.
That's facebook for you.

What a bitter, rotten, slimy bunch of haters the supposedly enlightened libertards are. Their own hero, Hussein Obozo is up to his neck in ethics violations, corruptness, incompetence and just plain slime and they find time to knock the ex president for joining Facebook? The Mexican drug cartels must be slipping something extra in the dope they are selling them

History books will record Pres. Bush stood up to Liberals and the terrorist, and did all he could to keep America safe from another 9/11 attack. Thank you, Mr. President.
